A striking 1930s French Geismann chrome and enamel ice bucket, designed during the height of the Art Deco era. This piece features the bold, modernist styling characteristic of pre-war French barware: a polished chrome body, stepped Deco handles, and the iconic GEISMANN enamel badge across the front.
Originally used in brasseries, hotels, and upscale wine establishments, these buckets are prized today for their sculptural silhouette and glamorous vintage appeal. The chrome surface has developed a gorgeous soft patina, and the enamel label retains its vivid red lettering, offering a perfect balance of character and shine.
Beautiful as a functioning ice bucket, or displayed on a bar cart, dining buffet, or styled shelf among silver and glassware.
